Canticle

9 The First Song of IsaiahEcce, Deus
Isaiah 12:2-6

Surely, it is God who saves me;* I will trust in him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,* and he will be my Savior.
Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing*from the springs of salvation.
And on that day you shall say,*Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name;
Make his deeds known among the peoples;*see that they remember that his Name is exalted.
Sing the praises of the Lord, for he has done great things,*and this is known in all the world.
Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy,*for the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.He was conceived by the Holy Spiritand born of the Virgin Mary.He suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried.He descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again.He ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.

Christ, have mercy

Lord, have mercy

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Lord, have mercy.

For those who are exhausted, sleepless, and depressed; for those who suffer for the sake of the Name of Christ; for those who are hungry, sick, afraid, or in any kind of danger; for those who are alone, and for those who have no one to pray for them, let us pray to the Lord.

Lord, have mercy.

Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
